Custom snare drums
Uncompromising quality
We have not invented anything new: we limited ourselves to perfecting what already existed, until it was excellent.
The series
Four ways of building a snare drum
The same hands, four different starting points: the material of the shell, the hardware, and how far the instrument can be taken away from what already exists.
Massima
Constructive perfection at the service of sound: shell and hoops turned, cast bronze hoops, the whole NFM hardware line.

Gral
Shells obtained from old milk cans: cast, without welding. Each instrument is unique and unrepeatable.

NFM hardware
Our hardware is timeless
Designed not to suffer the passage of time, which is why we guarantee it for life.
We make every single component of our hardware: this is why we can really say that our product is totally made in Italy.
Our story
We are not inventors
Percussion instruments were born even before music. Indeed, it could be said that percussion instruments gave birth to music.
We are not inventors: we are craftsmen, technicians and musicians. We only improve something that already exists, perfecting every little detail from time to time. That is exactly what we have done, what we do, and what we will keep doing.
